Excellent service by April. I had the 3 enchiladas topped with sauce served with pinto beans , rice & sour cream. Perfect taste for me, not spicy! I also got their nacho's & salsa. They was Free. The "chips" taste homemade. I topped it off with a delicious hibiscus margarita. yummy!! Nice Mexican decor to the restaurant. I would recommend this place as the cost is average & the food is very good . read more

Always a great time at Ixtapa. The margaritas hit, the food is consistently great, and Taco Tuesday is a no brainer, $1 tacos with the purchase of a drink is hard to beat. This is one of those true community pillar spots, the kind of place where regulars feel known, but newcomers are welcomed just the same. Sitting at the bar with a margarita and chatting with locals is half the experience. You can tell this place is run with pride. Easy five stars. Love this place! read more

Food here is always delicious, with friendly waiters. Jamaica water is pretty good. Definitely recommend this place read more

This was the first time I have been to this location. I live pretty close to the Groton location but don't go there often. We arrived there for lunch. Looking at the menu nothing stuck out, but then I saw the "all you can eat tacos ". For $11 this was an extreme bargain. I couldn't believe how much food came out on one plate. Three massive tacos, beans, and rice was just overwhelming for me to eat everything. Also had a Presidente margarita. That really kicked my butt. Very friendly service and not crowded for lunch. Definitely a place to go to get your moneys worth. Very clean atmosphere and friendly service. It seems they do enjoy what they do. read more

Went to Ixtapa Mexican restaurant. For. My husband's birthday . Just the four of us. The food was delicious, the homemade chips were addictive. No way could stop at one. The ambiance was fun and you felt like you were visiting. Mexico, feels like home. And the prices were grate. For all the outstanding service. The family will be back again. Thank you. read more

We ordered takeout. My husband got fajitas and I ordered the Caribbean Salad. When we got home, I opened the salad and the first thing i noticed was the lettuce was shredded lettuce like what they put on a sub. I took a bite which included what they must think is canned pineapple. It was complete mush (see Pic). There was nothing fresh on the salad. I only took the one bite and threw the rest out. I can say with full confidence this was the absolute WORST salad/takeout I have ever had and I am 62 years old. The actual salad did not, in any way, resemble the description on their menu. I called the restaurant to tell them what I had received and how it was nothing like their description. BTW, this salad appears to have been removed from the menu. The gentleman on phone just said, "I'm sorry." Nothing else. Very, very disappointed. read more

I'm not one for negative reviews but my experience was a giant food rip-off. I've noticed the food quality has deteriorated, compared to Chipolte and Tacos Tequila, it is an epic fail. I ordered an Ixtapa burrito with chicken. What I got was a burrito filled with overcooked rice and beans that were like slop. Chicken? A teaspoon on each end, nothing in the middle. The bartender checked in, I showed her the inside, she had another one made. Just about the same thing with a teaspoon of more chicken on the left and right side, to show there is chicken, but another plate of beans and rice slop. I think they believe if you are drinking, you won't notice. I got a Blue Margarita and I'll just say they don't use top shelf tequila, as after 2 sips I experienced heart palpitations. Weird. Better places for the money, but the service is excellent and the staff is always cheerful. Won't be going back and the cook should really eat out more to see the competition is blowing him away. Tacos Tequila is excellent - right down the road. read more

Food was good the shrimp taste a bit funny and chewy, stake and chicken were seasoning with the right flavor. read more

Love the fajitas!!! I'm finding many places don't offer steak , chicken and shrimp which is my go to! The service has always been great! The ambiance is very festive and fun!! Been my go to for many many years!!!!! read more

Enjoyed Ultimate Margarita made with Cazadores Reposado. Could have had more birria on burrito which would have liked hotter. Arroz con Pollo was quite a good dish except chicken was inconsistently cooked, some perfect, some dry. Andreina was our excellent, most competent and personable server. read more

Good Lawn......don't go.....food is substandard.....everything has the same sauce.....service is rushed.....

It's perhaps one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Not that I'm a guide boom writer, but I've been to several. The fajita chimichanga is outstanding. The steak is grilled to perfection, the shell is deep fried perfectly with just the right amount of cheese and stance on top. Absolutely ridiculously delicious! read more

Good food always Fantastic guacamole made at table Tuesday's are taco nights - one dollar each (must buy a drink) Service is quick and very friendly. Drinks are good too Many different kinds of tequila for margaritas !! Ambiance is typical. Bar has TVs to watch football (soccer) read more

Taco salad was soaked with some sort of oil. Men's room had no hot water. Faucets were taken off. Considering employees are supposed to wash their hands, this does not make a good impression! We stopped in late Spring-was good. Stopped again early Fall- a bit disappointing. This time, early DEC a BIG disappointment! The place is well kept! Dirty surfaces, windows, hanging window lights, broken handles. Will not go back! read more

Bizarre experience. They're homophobic/transphobic. First off the greeter threw the chips and salsa on table. We got seated and watched servers go to every single table around us, no one acknowledging us. My girlfriend wanted to say something, but I didn't feel comfortable eating there anyway. Horrible vibes, I just got up and left after 10 minutes of being ignored. Enjoyed the free chips and salsa in exchange for an experience that felt straight out of the 1950s read more

Really big fan of this spot. Never a long wait, service is friendly and the food is pretty good. The margs and the draft selection is great, menu has great selection of Mexican and south of border cuisine and some American options. Worth a trip read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The drinks are great, and the food is always excellent. My partner had the Cancún chimichanga, and I had the shrimp fajita quesadilla. Service is always good here as well! read more

Their waitstaff is always very nice and they have excellent margaritas. The food is just okay. Some standouts are the chips & salsa, guacamole(it's good), taquitos, and chicken wings. Appetizers are always good here. I think the burritos are just okay but they never taste fresh and never come out hot. I think a good indicator is that they usually come out within five minutes and none of the burritos come with anything but meat and cheese on the inside, all other ingredients which normally go inside the burrito are used as toppings (lettuce, guac, sour cream, etc) That tells me that they are making the burritos earlier in the day and heating them up once ordered, instead of being made-to-order like they should be. read more

I hate going to any other Mexican restaurant. Sincerely. The Mexicali chimichanga should be illegal because it's too tasty. Goshdamn.

Let me start by saying , the servers are always friendly , however I feel for them because I feel like every time I've been in there it is short staffed and there are only a couple people working trying to manage the bar , the tables , and the kitchen . Always a wait for drinks because of that . It was also very hot in there tonight and other tables were also saying it . I don't care about it being hot for me , but as a server myself I can imagine they are five times feeling the heat while running their butts off trying to make guests happy . I never write negative reviews ... ever , but I just feel for the staff working there needs to be some more help etc . read more

Service was horrible from the manager. Denied me the type of alcohol I wanted in my margarita. Gave my husband and I horrible attitude all night. There wasn't even anyone else at the bar but us. The food is great but I hate the service. read more

Combo Laredo w/ chimichanga and tamale are amazing! I LOVE this place! So far everything I've tried there has been great! From the salsa they serve right when you sit down to the drinks and desserts, the food is amazing. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. My husband and I adore this place for date night. read more

Chicken Fajitas cooked perfectly, generous portions!Tortilla Soup was loaded with avocado slices and unique tortilla triangles.

My husband likes this place but every time I always hesitate to order anything from here. Tonight I ordered the al pastor carne tacos. Usually comes with cilantro, cabbage and lime. I had put the cilantro on my tacos, and literally all I could taste was dirt!! the cilantro was still dirty you could still feel the dirt when I checked it. Absolutely disgusting. read more

No Bueno. The drinks are good, but the food tastes like it just came out of a microwave to be honest. There are better choices in this area for Mexican food. read more

My Man and I have tried this place twice and they have reliably satisfied our craving for New England Tex-Mex, I lived in Phoenix for 5 years and Dallas for 3 so I've had my share of awesome food in this arena. The food is made-fresh tasting and the chips come warm with a perfectly spiced salsa. We will definitely go back as it's conveniently located. read more

This place is a great find. Very authentic Mexican food. Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. Also, they made some of the best margaritas I've ever had. We will definitely be back! read more

This was my third experience with Ixtapa and it's getting worse each time. Some tips: -don't order the taco Tuesday tacos. They are cheap, hard shell, tasteless tacos with cheddar cheese sprinkled onto lukewarm meat and iceberg lettuce. -don't sit outside unless there are multiple people out there. The service took forever. Our server this time was nice, but basically forgot we were out there. -the Chimichangas are great. Order a pickup meal, because the service is bad. Our server last time seemed annoyed that we were even there and got irritated when we asked questions about the menu. read more

Some of the best authentic Mexican cuisine around. If you're looking for a nice environment and delicious food, come here.

Been coming here since they opened in 2005. The food is consistent, fresh and always fast to your table. You start with chips and fresh salsa. The menu is your typical Mexican standards Tacos, Quesadillas, Enchiladas and Burritos along with burgers,salads and seafood options. Each time we are greated at our table by the owner which is always a nice touch. Always leaving full when you come here. read more

It's slightly better food than Taco Bell at twice the cost. It's like a Mexican Buffalo Wild Wings. You can go in and sit down and be waited on, but it's fast food quality. As long as you don't have high hopes, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is going downhill. Pre-COVID 2019 they were great. Now, they have lost some of their best bartenders and additional staff. They are not attentive anymore and last weekend the bartender was so bad! OMG,..... He couldn't understand anything and got my order wrong then says "no worries it's free" then takes it away! I think I'll have to check out Zappata's read more

The service was great. The food was great. I had the house margarita and the enchiladas trio. Fair pricing and big portions.

Tried this place again today after a few years and it just as awful or worse than before. Overpriced with very little food and the food that I was given was poorly cooked. This place is a train wreck. AVOID. read more

HORRIBLE! Not only was this place EXTREMELY homophobic- the staff was rude, refused to wait on my girlfriend and me. The manager had to come out and serve us because all the staff refused to. After getting home, we both got miserably sick from the food!! I am genuinely wondering if they intentionally poisoned our food. Never go here!!! read more

Should have listened to reviews service was great (only reason 2 stars) food was average, prices...crazy 2 sizes of sour cream...$4 are you kidding?!! 66 bucks...order of chimichanga literally had 1 tsp of meat and was burnt.....everything else was soggy, enchilada ok, and kids quesadilla and 1 alcoholic drink 2 entree, 1 kids meal not much (1/2 quesadilla), milk, iced tea and 1 margarita. Def NOT worth $66. Don't recommended. read more

I love going to Ixtapa, the food is always great!! They give you free chips and salsa, and the service is very nice. The portions are huge and the margaritas don't disappoint. I will definitely continue to go here for Mexican food. read more
